@hkyroo52…Yeah. This week’s games will force me to do some serious thinking about the rankings. Southern’s tie with Lacey. Wall’s victory over Holmdel. Middletown South’s victory over Middletown North. A shakeup is coming. lol.

@FHockeyMom…We’ll see how the rest of the week plays out but MSouth now has a strong case to be in the top 10. I’m not sure who I can take out to put them in…this is going to be interesting. And…I was covering SCT tennis on Tuesday and I can only be in one place at one time. In fact, I can only get to one field hockey game a week till the SCT tennis is over, which is next Wednesday. Then I can get out twice a week. Coincidentally, I was covering MSouth’s tennis win over Shore on Tuesday.

Very interesting year…… I think Middletown South and North have split home and away for the past decade. it seems they always win away. Shore….have to wait for some non-conference games to judge how far they will go, but with neither the Bulldawgs nor the Rosies being athreat they will own their division. What happened to those tough as nails teams Henry Hudson used to field? What’s happening with Central, RBC and TRS, usual contenders. Watch Lacey, Raritan and Pinelands.

@Getacorner…I’ll give you Lacey and Raritan as teams to keep an eye on…but I’m not ready to put Pinelands in that category yet…
